Optimal whole-body health and dental wellness go hand in hand. We’re passionate about giving you the tools to understand how problematic conditions in the mouth can affect your overall health, quality of life, and physiological well-being. Rather than focusing solely on dental issues in isolation, our team also explores how certain dental problems — such as gum disease — can have a systemic influence on the different systems of the body, and your day-to-day life.
Dr. Nadine, our Orlando dentist, uses data and clinical testing to map out actionable steps to help patients regain a healthy mouth. Through nutritional guidance, strong patient education, and salivary testing, Dr. Nadine strives to positively impact your life and well-being.

Salivary Testing
Many patients are unaware of how damaging certain types of oral bacteria can be to your overall health. As much as bacteria buildup is associated with decay, bad breath, and tooth loss, studies show it’s also linked to potentially life-threatening medical conditions like colon cancer, diabetes, hypertension, pregnancy complications, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, other cancers, heart disease, and many other diseases. In identifying the oral pathogens that cause these diseases, salivary testing offers a pathway to creating a personalized dental wellness plan specifically for your unique needs.
With salivary testing technology, our team can detect the presence of the hidden bacteria that directly causes heart disease, stroke, and other serious conditions. This screening can also determine whether you’re predisposed to the increased inflammation often associated with these diseases.
